What type of transducer Is potentiometer?
what type of transducer potentiometer
What is the name of a variable resistor with 3 terminals?
It's called a 'variable resistor'. However, it can function as a 'rheostat' (to control current) when two terminals are connected, or as a 'potentiometer' (to control voltage) when three terminals are connected. The terms, 'rheostat' and 'potentiometer' do not describe the device itself, but how it is being used.
What is sensitivity of a potentiometer?
Sensitivity of potentiometer means~ smallest potential difference that can be measured with the help of it.
What is the resolution of potentiometer?
resolution of petentiometer
How you can do Calibration of wattmeter by potentiometer?
221
What are uses of potentiometer?
A potentiometer is a variable resistor used in electronics.
Why is a voltmeter used rather than a potentiometer?
A potentiometer is a variable resistor, while a voltmeter is a device that measures voltage.
Can a potentiometer be used as a rheostat?
Yes, a potentiometer can be used as a rheostat by only using two of the three terminals. By connecting one end of the resistive element to the wiper terminal, you can adjust the resistance across the other two terminals to control the current flow like a rheostat.
Which instrument used to calibrate ammeter?
It is a potentiometer.
Why is copper wire not used in potentiometer?
Copper is not used in potentiometer due to the following reasons: 1)Low resistivity 2) High Temperature Coefficient of resistance
Which is preferred for measuring emf of a cell avoltmeter or potentiometer?
A voltmeter is used to measure voltage. A potentiometer is used to vary the amount of resistance in a circuit - it has nothing to do with measuring.
What name is used for a high power variable resistor?
potentiometer
What type of transducer Is potentiometer?
what type of transducer potentiometer
Define potentiometer?
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.
What you mean by sensitivity of potentiometer?
Sensitivity of potentiometer: A potentiometer is said to be more sensitive, if it measures a small potential difference more accurately.
The device used for measuring potential difference is known as?
The potentiometer is the device that is used in the measuring of the potential difference.
Define dual potentiometer?
A dual potentiometer is nothing but a potentiometer which has TWO channels.. Like two INs and two OUTs on the same unit.
